The Path Down

In such a treacherous environment, one had to descend a mountain path, and not an exceptionally well-leveled one either. In a way, it was quite like the path of bright light on the top of the trial mountain, only one was the intricate result of countless interlocked formations and was designed for powerful cultivators and trial takers, and the other was a path that mortals followed.

Of course, the path of the clouds was also in a way a formation, but it was closer to a 'natural formation' and wasn't as intricate or densely weaved.

Thinking of the inhabitants of the island who would have to traverse this path while carrying a heavy load of goods, Di Tou couldn't help but feel his heart ache and understood why they so rarely interacted with the outside world despite having the option to do so.

If you had to go through such a path every time you wanted to buy a game or read a novel… it was a good question how much that would cut down your time doing these things.
